00:01:02,462 --> 00:01:06,800
(Nero Wolfe)
...and take your sordid affairs with you!

4
00:01:15,041 --> 00:01:18,078
(Archie griffin)
Richard meegan had made the mistake

5
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:20,680
of asking Wolfe
to find his wife.

6
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:26,319
Another mistake.

7
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:32,826
He took my raincoat
instead of his.

8
00:01:32,826 --> 00:01:34,127
I had started
to return it,

9
00:01:34,127 --> 00:01:35,862
but when i got to
his apartment,

10
00:01:35,862 --> 00:01:37,163
i didn't enter it.

11
00:01:37,163 --> 00:01:39,766
There was a party
going on outside.

12
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:42,368
(man)
Come on, give me a break.

13
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:43,670
Just give me a
little information.

14
00:01:43,670 --> 00:01:45,405
One story's all i need.

15
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:47,140
Can i get
a photographer?

16
00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:48,007
Whose dog is this?

17
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:50,610
Hey! Whose dog
is this?

18
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,779
Give us some
information...

19
00:01:53,213 --> 00:01:55,815
(Archie)
The presence of Purley Stebbins made it a cinch

20
00:01:55,815 --> 00:01:57,984
that there was a corpse
inside the building.

21
00:01:57,984 --> 00:01:59,285
Sure that's
not your dog?

22
00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:00,587
Huh?

23
00:02:00,587 --> 00:02:02,322
No, no, the wife's
allergic.

24
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:03,623
And my presence at
the scene of a homicide

25
00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:07,093
arouses all of Purley's
worst instincts.

26
00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:09,696
I decided to get my raincoat
back some other time.

27
00:02:09,696 --> 00:02:11,431
(barks)

28
00:02:29,215 --> 00:02:31,384
What?

29
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:33,553
I'm not your pal.

30
00:02:33,553 --> 00:02:35,288
Go on.

31
00:02:37,457 --> 00:02:38,758
Go on.

32
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:43,096
(barks)

33
00:02:43,096 --> 00:02:46,132
Stay.

34
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:48,301
I am not your pal.

35
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:50,904
Now, you must go back
to where you were.

36
00:03:04,784 --> 00:03:07,820
My idea was to call
the a.s.p.c.a. For help,

37
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:09,556
but there was no sense
in passing up

38
00:03:09,556 --> 00:03:12,592
an opportunity
to annoy Wolfe.

39
00:03:16,062 --> 00:03:17,797
Where the devil
have you been?

40
00:03:17,797 --> 00:03:20,400
We were supposed to go
over the orchid list.

41
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,701
What's that?

42
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:23,328
Uh, it's a dog.

43
00:03:24,737 --> 00:03:26,906
I'm in no temper for
buffoonery, get it out of here.

44
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:29,075
No, sir, you have your orchids,
Fritz has his turtle.

45
00:03:29,075 --> 00:03:30,376
Theodore has his
parakeets...

46
00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:35,148
why shouldn't i
have a dog?

47
00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:36,449
We'll have to change
his name, of course,

48
00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:38,618
'cause i wouldn't want us
to confuse the two of you.

49
00:03:38,618 --> 00:03:41,221
Ebony would do, or jet,
or inky, or...

50
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:42,522
stop babbling!

51
00:03:42,522 --> 00:03:45,124
It's not a hound,
it's a labrador retriever.

52
00:03:45,558 --> 00:03:48,161
Well, i say hound because
it would be natural

53
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:52,065
for a private detective
to have a hound.

54
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:55,535
Labradors have a wider skull
than any other dog...

55
00:03:55,535 --> 00:03:56,836
for brain room.

56
00:03:56,836 --> 00:03:58,571
A dog i had when i was
a boy in montenegro

57
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:00,306
had a rather narrow skull,

58
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:03,776
but i did not regard that
as a defect, i do not...

59
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:07,247
recall thinking that
the dog had a defect.

60
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:13,753
So, when, when you smuggled
that creaturere,

61
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:15,922
did you take into account
the disruption

62
00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:18,091
it might cause
in this household?

63
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:20,693
Don't worry, don't worry,
i will get rid of the dog.

64
00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:22,428
I do feel the need
for a pet.

65
00:04:22,428 --> 00:04:24,163
Perhaps i'll try
a chameleon.

66
00:04:24,163 --> 00:04:25,465
No.
No?

67
00:04:25,465 --> 00:04:26,766
No, i do not wish
to interfere

68
00:04:26,766 --> 00:04:28,501
with the commitment
that you've made.

69
00:04:28,501 --> 00:04:30,236
I haven't made
a commitment.

70
00:04:30,236 --> 00:04:31,971
Then where did it
come from?

71
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:34,140
Followed me home.

72
00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:36,743
All right, look, i'm gonna
call an animal shelter,

73
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:37,610
and i'll, uh...

74
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:38,911
no!

75
00:04:38,911 --> 00:04:40,213
No?
No!

76
00:04:40,647 --> 00:04:41,948
Why?

77
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:43,249
Call someone from
the police department

78
00:04:43,249 --> 00:04:44,550
and give them
the license number

79
00:04:44,984 --> 00:04:46,286
and locate the owner.

80
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,021
And then you will call
the owner directly.

81
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:50,189
No...
no, i don't think so,

82
00:04:50,189 --> 00:04:53,226
because, you see, if the
owner is dead or in jail,

83
00:04:53,226 --> 00:04:54,961
you'll take the position
that i have committed myself

84
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:56,696
by bringing the dog home.

85
00:04:56,696 --> 00:04:57,888
Well, it would be
dishonorable for you

86
00:04:57,888 --> 00:05:00,600
to renege.

87
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,335
Yeah, you'd enjoy
having a dog around,

88
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:04,937
provided you could
blame it on me.

89
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:16,215
I think that name that
you suggested... jet...

90
00:05:16,215 --> 00:05:18,384
would be acceptable
for this dog.

91
00:05:18,384 --> 00:05:19,686
I like inky.

92
00:05:19,686 --> 00:05:21,421
It's a stupid name.

93
00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:24,023
It's a name that would
demean, even demean a dog.

94
00:05:24,023 --> 00:05:25,325
Jet is the dog's name.

95
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:26,626
I wasn't being serious
when i said jet.

96
00:05:26,626 --> 00:05:28,361
Dinner is served, sir.

97
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:29,662
(bark)

98
00:05:30,096 --> 00:05:31,831
Is the animal
dining with you?

99
00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:33,132
Phooey!

100
00:05:33,132 --> 00:05:34,434
That's ebony,
Fritz.

101
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:35,735
Jet.

102
00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:37,470
Fritz, this animal,
this hound,

103
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:39,205
uh, is named inky.

104
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:40,940
No, his name is jet.

105
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:42,241
Jet?

106
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:44,844
Well, his manners
seem to be adequate,

107
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,013
but i would prefer to
test them in the kitchen.

108
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:48,314
Ah, bien sur.

109
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:50,049
Come.

110
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:57,423
That's loyalty for you.

111
00:05:57,423 --> 00:05:59,592
(Archie)
The squabs were absolutely edible,

112
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:02,195
but other phenomena of that
evening were not so pleasing.

113
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:04,797
The basenji is the oldest
breed on earth,

114
00:06:05,231 --> 00:06:09,135
originating in central
africa, 5000 b.c.

115
00:06:09,135 --> 00:06:12,605
Of course, there was no trace
of the afghan hound

116
00:06:12,605 --> 00:06:15,641
before 4000 b.c.

117
00:06:15,641 --> 00:06:17,377
Fritz.

118
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,545
Fritz. Ated

119
00:06:19,545 --> 00:06:23,015
a capacity for restraint,
vis-a-vis food?

120
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:24,751
For a dog...

121
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:26,919
he has remarkable
control.

122
00:06:31,691 --> 00:06:33,860
You wouldn't find him to be

123
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:38,197
an incorrigible nuisance
as a cohabitant?

124
00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:39,932
No.

125
00:06:39,932 --> 00:06:42,535
Of course, uh,
they need time.

126
00:06:42,969 --> 00:06:46,873
They must be walked
and fed, but...

127
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:49,041
for such a noble beast,

128
00:06:49,041 --> 00:06:52,945
i suppose we, uh,
could make the sacrifice.

129
00:06:52,945 --> 00:06:54,247
Well, we must
suffer him,

130
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,283
in any case,
for Archie's sake.

131
00:06:57,283 --> 00:07:00,192
Yeah, yeah, right,
for my sake.

132
00:07:00,192 --> 00:07:02,054
Ah.

133
00:07:02,054 --> 00:07:03,356
Clearly, they were
prepared to become

134
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:06,826
charter members of the
canine canonization league.

135
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:08,561
Next thing you know,
we'd have box seats

136
00:07:08,561 --> 00:07:10,296
at the westminster
dog show.

137
00:07:10,656 --> 00:07:11,597
(Fritz)
Jet!

138
00:07:12,031 --> 00:07:13,332
Put down that squab!

139
00:07:13,332 --> 00:07:14,634
Jet!
Drop it!

140
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:15,935
Drop it, jet!

141
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,538
(barking, crashing)

142
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:21,140
(doorbell rings)

143
00:07:25,912 --> 00:07:27,647
You never come
after dinner.

144
00:07:27,647 --> 00:07:30,683
Cut the crap, goodwin,
and tell me where the dog is.

145
00:07:34,153 --> 00:07:36,756
The owner of t?? Dog was
murdered this afternoon.

146
00:07:36,756 --> 00:07:38,925
The officer at the scene
recognized you

147
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:41,093
and said you enticed
the dog to go off with you!

148
00:07:41,093 --> 00:07:42,395
I did not entice.

149
00:07:42,395 --> 00:07:44,130
Oh, the dog just
followed you.

150
00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:45,431
Hey, dogs follow me,
girls follow me.

151
00:07:45,431 --> 00:07:46,732
Skip the comedy!

152
00:07:46,732 --> 00:07:48,468
The dog belonged to
the victim of the murder.

153
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:50,636
And you removed it from
the murder scene.

154
00:07:50,636 --> 00:07:52,805
To top it off,
one of the tenants

155
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:54,106
from 29 arbor street
was by here today

156
00:07:54,106 --> 00:07:55,842
to talk to you...
richard meegan.

157
00:07:55,842 --> 00:07:57,577
What the hell was
that all about?

158
00:07:57,577 --> 00:07:58,444
That's not
your business.

159
00:07:58,444 --> 00:07:59,745
Go on.

160
00:07:59,745 --> 00:08:01,047
This...

161
00:08:01,047 --> 00:08:02,348
the last people i want
near a homicide scene

162
00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:03,649
is you or goodwin.

163
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:04,951
But i knew
you were there.

164
00:08:04,951 --> 00:08:06,686
And i wanna know
how and why,

165
00:08:06,686 --> 00:08:08,855
and what and when
and who?

166
00:08:08,855 --> 00:08:10,590
You're wasting your time.

167
00:08:10,590 --> 00:08:12,758
In mr. Meegan's first breath,
he mentioned his wife.

168
00:08:12,758 --> 00:08:13,626
Yeah, yeah...

169
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:15,795
my vanity bristles
at the thought

170
00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:17,096
of taking
a job like that.

171
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:18,397
Yeah, i know,
Wolfe...

172
00:08:18,397 --> 00:08:20,566
and i stopped him,
my bluntness enraged him,

173
00:08:20,566 --> 00:08:22,735
and he stormed off with
mr. Goodwin's raincoat. M,

174
00:08:22,735 --> 00:08:24,384
so that's why
you went there.

175
00:08:24,904 --> 00:08:26,205
Why'd you take
the dog?

176
00:08:26,205 --> 00:08:27,940
What dog?

177
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:29,675
Hey, he had my raincoat,
i had his.

178
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:31,410
I was just gonna
go and swap them.

179
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:34,013
Look, i will admit,
if pressed,

180
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:36,182
that i should not have
patted the dog,

181
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:37,917
but let me ask you this.

182
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:40,086
If there was a dodge
on my part about the dog,

183
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,688
why did i call
the precinct

184
00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:44,423
to get the name of
the owner of the dog?

185
00:08:44,423 --> 00:08:46,158
I don't know!

186
00:08:46,158 --> 00:08:48,327
With you and Wolfe,
i never know!

187
00:08:48,327 --> 00:08:51,364
Look, i'm gonna
open the bag here.

188
00:08:51,364 --> 00:08:53,533
Ah, he's come for
some free advice.

189
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,268
Oh, shut up!

190
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:57,436
The man who was killed
was philip kampf.

191
00:08:57,436 --> 00:09:00,473
He lived on perry street,
a few blocks from arbor.

192
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:02,208
He lived alone,
with the dog...

193
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:03,943
no family.

194
00:09:03,943 --> 00:09:06,546
Olson, the janitor,
sees him arrive

195
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:10,449
with the dog on a leash
at 5:20 this afternoon.

196
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:13,052
15 minutes later,
the dog comes out

197
00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:15,655
with a tenant
named victor talento.

198
00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:17,823
He says he saw the dog
in the vestibule,

199
00:09:17,823 --> 00:09:19,992
thought it was a stray
and chase

200
00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:22,161
somebody starts yelling.

201
00:09:22,161 --> 00:09:23,462
(barking)

202
00:09:23,462 --> 00:09:25,631
Olsos down and
sees two men in the foyer,

203
00:09:25,631 --> 00:09:27,366
one live, one dead.

204
00:09:27,366 --> 00:09:29,101
The live one
was Ross Chaffee,

205
00:09:29,101 --> 00:09:30,836
an artist who had a studio
on the top floor.

206
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:33,439
The dead one
is philip kampf.

207
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:35,608
We got onto the dog because
Stebbins found the leash

208
00:09:35,608 --> 00:09:37,777
in the pocket of
kampf's raincoat.

209
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:40,379
The lab says he was
strangled with the leash.

210
00:09:40,379 --> 00:09:45,151
All four tenants of the house
were home when kampf arrived.

211
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:47,753
Victor talento,
a lawyer who lived

212
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,922
on the ground floor,
had left,

213
00:09:49,922 --> 00:09:51,657
but the rest of them...

214
00:09:51,657 --> 00:09:54,694
Chaffee, meegan
and Jerome Aland,

215
00:09:55,127 --> 00:09:58,598
a night club performer...
were still there.

216
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:01,200
Of course, none of them
heard or saw a thing,

217
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,369
but kampf went there to
see one of those four men,

218
00:10:03,803 --> 00:10:05,538
and he had his dog with him.

219
00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:09,442
So my theory is,
that dog is my witness.

220
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,611
Well, the animal
seems quite intelligent,

221
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:13,779
but i doubt he's up to
answeriestions.

222
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:15,948
Yeah, but he saw
and heard it all.

223
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:18,117
And it's possible
he was actually there

224
00:10:18,117 --> 00:10:19,418
when kampf was killed.

225
00:10:19,418 --> 00:10:21,153
That's why we're gonna
take it there...

226
00:10:21,153 --> 00:10:23,322
to see which door
he goes to.

227
00:10:23,322 --> 00:10:25,057
And we're gonna
do that now.

228
00:10:25,057 --> 00:10:27,660
I got a guy out in my car
who knows dogs.

229
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:28,961
Ah.

230
00:10:28,961 --> 00:10:31,998
Archie,
go to your room.

231
00:10:31,998 --> 00:10:34,600
Go to my room?

232
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:36,335
Go up to your room.

233
00:10:36,335 --> 00:10:38,504
Theodore has put the
parakeet in your room.

234
00:10:38,938 --> 00:10:41,107
Go up and see
that he's all right.

235
00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:43,275
Parakeet?

236
00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:45,444
Wolfe, let's get
back to the dogs.

237
00:10:45,444 --> 00:10:47,179
Go to your room.

238
00:10:47,179 --> 00:10:48,481
Now!

239
00:10:48,914 --> 00:10:49,782
Lock yourself up!

240
00:10:50,216 --> 00:10:51,517
I want the dog.

241
00:10:51,517 --> 00:10:52,818
I went.

242
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:54,553
It was either that
or quit my job on the spot,

243
00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:57,156
and i resign only when
we haven't got company.

244
00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:01,494
Jet was waiting patiently
where i left him.

245
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:02,795
(door shuts)

246
00:11:03,229 --> 00:11:04,530
All clear?

247
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:07,133
(Wolfe)
No, wait until i bolt it.

248
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,735
All right!

249
00:11:09,735 --> 00:11:12,338
Now, you stay here.

250
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:14,940
That's it, jet.

251
00:11:21,013 --> 00:11:23,616
A pretty mess!

252
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:25,785
You sneak a dog in here
to badger me,

253
00:11:25,785 --> 00:11:27,086
and now this.

254
00:11:27,086 --> 00:11:28,821
Forget it, you're the one
who bollucksed this up.

255
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:30,990
And all because you felt
sorry for an orphan.

256
00:11:30,990 --> 00:11:32,725
I thought that
my disinclination

257
00:11:32,725 --> 00:11:34,894
to permit a policeman
to storm in here

258
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:37,063
and commandeer any
person or object

259
00:11:37,063 --> 00:11:39,231
that struck his fancy
was shared by you!

260
00:11:39,231 --> 00:11:40,966
Well, it is,
within reason.

261
00:11:40,966 --> 00:11:43,135
Don't be ambiguous.

262
00:11:43,569 --> 00:11:45,304
Clearly, the simplest way
to settle this matter

263
00:11:45,304 --> 00:11:47,473
is to find out
who killed mr. Kampf.

264
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:48,774
Oh!

265
00:11:48,774 --> 00:11:50,943
Of course,
that follows, yes.

266
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:53,546
And right now we have the prime
witness sitting upstairs.

267
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:56,148
Yes, a witness
who can't testify.

268
00:11:56,148 --> 00:11:58,317
We must do
better than that.

269
00:11:58,317 --> 00:12:02,221
Luckily, we have a pretext
for an immediate exploration.

270
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:05,691
You can go there to
get your raincoat.

271
00:12:05,691 --> 00:12:07,426
Right now?

272
00:12:07,426 --> 00:12:08,728
Yes.

273
00:12:09,161 --> 00:12:10,463
Well, i'll be damned.

274
00:12:10,463 --> 00:12:12,198
No client, no fee,
no nothing...

275
00:12:12,198 --> 00:12:17,403
except for a dog with
a wide skull for brain room.

276
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:20,005
I will be damned.

277
00:13:02,515 --> 00:13:04,250
(Archie)
Very sloppy.

278
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:07,720
I would have waited 10 more
paces before i started.

279
00:13:18,998 --> 00:13:20,733
Victor talento.

280
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,034
No comment.

281
00:13:22,034 --> 00:13:22,902
I'm not a reporter.

282
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:24,637
I'm not interested.

283
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:26,372
Okay, well, if you're out
for a midnight stroll,

284
00:13:26,372 --> 00:13:28,107
forget it,
sorry i interrupted.

285
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:29,842
But if you're heading
for something

286
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:31,143
you wanna keep private,
you oughta know,

287
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:33,746
you got a homicide dick
on your tail.

288
00:13:33,746 --> 00:13:35,047
Now look, uh,

289
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:36,782
don't look around or scream
or anything like that

290
00:13:37,216 --> 00:13:39,385
or he'll know
i'm telling you.

291
00:13:39,385 --> 00:13:42,421
This your good deed
for the day?

292
00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:43,722
No, i'm Archie goodwin.

293
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:45,457
I'm out for
Nero Wolfe.

294
00:13:45,457 --> 00:13:46,759
Who hired Wolfe
to investigate?

295
00:13:47,193 --> 00:13:48,494
I don't know,
good question.

296
00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:50,229
He says he needs
the practice.

297
00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:51,530
So i'm out just trying
to gather a seam.

298
00:13:51,964 --> 00:13:53,265
I can't help you.

299
00:13:53,265 --> 00:13:55,000
A woman phoned me,
and i arranged to meet her.

300
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,735
But she has nothing to do
with this business.

301
00:13:56,735 --> 00:13:58,037
And i have...

302
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:00,206
i have no right to expose her
to any embarrassment.

303
00:14:00,206 --> 00:14:01,507
Damn it!

304
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:03,676
Can't be sure of
shaking that man off.

305
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:04,977
Or me.

306
00:14:04,977 --> 00:14:06,278
You mean you'd
follow me too?

307
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:08,013
Sure, i need
practice myself.

308
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:09,748
Too bad you won't
reciprocate.

309
00:14:10,182 --> 00:14:12,785
I see you've earned your
reputation as scum, goodwin.

310
00:14:12,785 --> 00:14:16,689
You are the one who is about
to expose your lady friend.

311
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:18,424
I'm supposed to meet her
three blocks from here.

312
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,026
You might be willing to
go tell her i'm not coming.

313
00:14:21,026 --> 00:14:23,629
Sure, where's
the appointment?

314
00:14:23,629 --> 00:14:27,533
The wo... the woman's name
is Jewel Jones.

315
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:28,834
She's extremely pretty

316
00:14:28,834 --> 00:14:30,135
and she'll be at
the southeast corner

317
00:14:30,135 --> 00:14:32,304
of christopher and grove
at midnight.

318
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:34,039
Tell her i'll get in touch
with her tomorrow.

319
00:14:34,473 --> 00:14:36,642
Right.

320
00:14:36,642 --> 00:14:39,245
Uh, you see, the problem is,
how would i know

321
00:14:39,678 --> 00:14:42,281
i'm not shaking hands
with a murderer?

322
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:47,052
Have a nice night.

323
00:14:58,764 --> 00:15:01,367
Miss Jones.

324
00:15:01,367 --> 00:15:04,403
Victor.

325
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:05,704
Who are you?

326
00:15:06,138 --> 00:15:08,307
Victor... sent me
with a message.

327
00:15:08,741 --> 00:15:10,042
Now, i have anted up
half of his name,

328
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:12,645
half of your name...

329
00:15:12,645 --> 00:15:15,247
now it's your turn.

330
00:15:15,247 --> 00:15:17,850
But who are you?

331
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:20,452
I'm gonna
count to 10.

332
00:15:20,452 --> 00:15:22,621
One, two-three,
four...

333
00:15:22,621 --> 00:15:25,224
my name is jewel Jones.

334
00:15:25,224 --> 00:15:27,393
His name is
victor talento.

335
00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:29,128
That's better.

336
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:33,899
There's some things
i need to tell you.

337
00:15:33,899 --> 00:15:36,502
Give me your right ear.

338
00:15:36,502 --> 00:15:38,671
I gave her the whole crop.

339
00:15:38,671 --> 00:15:40,406
And by the time
i finished,

340
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:44,743
she'd developed
a healthy frown.

341
00:15:44,743 --> 00:15:46,478
Damn it!

342
00:15:46,478 --> 00:15:48,213
Come and put me
in a taxi.

343
00:15:48,213 --> 00:15:49,949
That's fine,
but we get in a taxi,

344
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:51,250
we're gonna go straight
to Nero Wolfe's place.

345
00:15:51,684 --> 00:15:53,419
We?
Are you crazy?

346
00:15:53,419 --> 00:15:55,587
Well, it's either that,

347
00:15:55,587 --> 00:15:57,756
or i can take you to a homicide
detective named Stebbins,

348
00:15:58,190 --> 00:15:59,491
and you can discuss
with him why it is

349
00:15:59,491 --> 00:16:00,793
that you and victor talento

350
00:16:01,152 --> 00:16:02,528
did not wanna
be seen together.

351
00:16:02,528 --> 00:16:05,564
We could always do that,
it's your choice, of course.

352
00:16:10,336 --> 00:16:13,312
Oh, i'll discuss it
with you.

353
00:16:13,312 --> 00:16:15,107
I wouldn't mind that.

354
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:16,768
We'll go somewhere.

355
00:16:16,768 --> 00:16:18,143
See, i know you're
the kind of man

356
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:20,312
i could talk to,
you'd understand.

357
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:22,047
I have the feeling
you could thaw me

358
00:16:22,047 --> 00:16:23,782
in about
four or five hours,

359
00:16:23,782 --> 00:16:25,084
and your voice could
thaw a refrigerator,

360
00:16:25,084 --> 00:16:27,252
but we don't have
time for that now.

361
00:16:27,252 --> 00:16:30,289
Of course, that didn't
stop her from trying.

362
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:43,302
And i was feeling quite
brotherly by the time

363
00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:45,904
we got to the brownstone
on 35th street.

364
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:47,206
(knocking)

365
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:57,616
Good evening,
mr. Goodwin.

366
00:16:57,616 --> 00:16:59,351
Good evening,
mr. Brenner.

367
00:16:59,785 --> 00:17:04,990
Miss Jones?

368
00:17:04,990 --> 00:17:07,593
She's here to marry
mr. Wolfe.

369
00:17:13,232 --> 00:17:15,401
Ah, well...

370
00:17:15,401 --> 00:17:18,437
i see you've made some
advances withmydog.

371
00:17:18,437 --> 00:17:21,040
The creature was alone
and whining in your room...

372
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,341
and hungry.

373
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:24,510
I brought company,

374
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:26,245
but before i introduce you
to miss jewel Jones...

375
00:17:26,678 --> 00:17:29,281
nts of 29
but before i introduce you to miss jewarbor street are men.

376
00:17:29,281 --> 00:17:30,582
Can't deny that.

377
00:17:30,582 --> 00:17:31,884
Yet you produce
a female.

378
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:33,185
I can chase her out
if you'd like,

379
00:17:33,185 --> 00:17:34,920
but, well, i would've
grilled her myself,

380
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,221
but let me
tell you something,

381
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:37,523
it would've been
far too risky.

382
00:17:37,523 --> 00:17:40,125
Confound it.
Bring her!

383
00:17:54,873 --> 00:17:56,175
I see.

384
00:17:56,175 --> 00:17:58,777
Can you tell us
what the dog's name is?

385
00:17:58,777 --> 00:18:00,079
That's funny.

386
00:18:02,247 --> 00:18:03,982
Phooey, obviously,
he knows you well.

387
00:18:03,982 --> 00:18:05,717
And he belonged
to mr. Kampf.

388
00:18:06,151 --> 00:18:07,453
And he belonged
mr. Kampf well.

389
00:18:07,453 --> 00:18:09,621
What is the dog's name?

390
00:18:10,055 --> 00:18:11,356
Bootsy.

391
00:18:11,356 --> 00:18:13,824
Bootsy?
Oh, heavens.

392
00:18:13,824 --> 00:18:16,128
No other name?

393
00:18:16,128 --> 00:18:18,730
Not that i know of.

394
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:21,767
And your name is
jewel Jones.

395
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:24,803
Yes, i sing in
a night club.

396
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:27,406
But i'm not working
right now.

397
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:29,141
Believe me, mr. Wolfe,

398
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:31,310
if i knew anything
that could help

399
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:34,346
i'd be perfectly willing
to tell you, because...

400
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:36,949
i'm sure you're the kind
of man that understands.

401
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:38,684
(sneezes)

402
00:18:38,684 --> 00:18:40,419
Go on,
don't mind me.

403
00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:42,154
I try to understand.

404
00:18:42,154 --> 00:18:45,624
So, you knew
mr. Kampf intimately?

405
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:47,359
Not lately.

406
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,094
Not for the past two months.

407
00:18:49,528 --> 00:18:53,866
But, for nearly a year
we were, as you say.

408
00:18:54,299 --> 00:18:56,034
When did you
see him last?

409
00:18:56,034 --> 00:18:57,769
Intimately?
At all.

410
00:18:57,769 --> 00:18:59,505
Intimately?
At all. T a month ago

411
00:18:59,505 --> 00:19:01,673
he came to the club
and spoke to me there.

412
00:19:01,673 --> 00:19:03,408
There was no quarrel?

413
00:19:03,408 --> 00:19:05,144
What was there
to quarrel about?

414
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:07,746
W
what was there mr. Talento intimately? About?

415
00:19:07,746 --> 00:19:09,047
I used to live there.

416
00:19:09,047 --> 00:19:10,349
With mr. Talento?

417
00:19:10,349 --> 00:19:12,951
No, i never
live with a man.

418
00:19:12,951 --> 00:19:15,120
I had the second-floor
apartment.

419
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,421
But about two months ago

420
00:19:16,855 --> 00:19:18,590
i got a little apartment
on east 49th street.

421
00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:19,892
So, you knew the others too...

422
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:23,362
mr. Meegan, mr. Chaffee
and mr. Aland?

423
00:19:23,795 --> 00:19:25,097
Well, i know Ross and jerry.

424
00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:26,832
But who's meegan?

425
00:19:26,832 --> 00:19:29,001
He's a tenant at
29 arbor street,

426
00:19:29,001 --> 00:19:30,302
second floor.

427
00:19:30,302 --> 00:19:34,206
Oh, well, sure,
that's the floor i had.

428
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:36,808
I hope ttable for him.

429
00:19:36,808 --> 00:19:40,279
I just hate furnished
apartments, don't you?

430
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:42,447
Yes, in principle,
yes i do.

431
00:19:42,447 --> 00:19:45,484
I take it now, that you
have your own furniture.

432
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:48,520
Supplied by mr...

433
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,255
kampf?

434
00:19:50,689 --> 00:19:52,424
I see you didn't
know phil kampf.

435
00:19:52,858 --> 00:19:54,159
Not supplied
by him, then?

436
00:19:54,159 --> 00:19:57,629
A great big no.

437
00:19:57,629 --> 00:19:59,798
By mr. Chaffee?
Mr. Aland?

438
00:19:59,798 --> 00:20:01,967
No and no.

439
00:20:01,967 --> 00:20:03,702
Look, mr. Wolfe, a friend
of mine was mighty nice

440
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:05,003
about that furniture,

441
00:20:05,437 --> 00:20:06,738
and we'll just
leave it at that.

442
00:20:06,738 --> 00:20:08,040
I could report
the rest of it,

443
00:20:08,473 --> 00:20:10,209
but it wouldn't get you
any further than it did Wolfe.

444
00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:12,377
Around 1:30, i took her
to 10th avenue

445
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:15,414
and put her in a taxi.

446
00:20:37,102 --> 00:20:39,271
Ah...

447
00:20:39,271 --> 00:20:41,440
where's bootsy?

448
00:20:41,873 --> 00:20:43,175
Huh?
No.

449
00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:44,476
Ah, where's jet?

450
00:20:44,476 --> 00:20:45,777
Down in Fritz's room.

451
00:20:45,777 --> 00:20:47,079
Why?

452
00:20:47,512 --> 00:20:48,814
You don't like him,
do you?

453
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:50,115
Oh, that's not true.

454
00:20:50,115 --> 00:20:51,850
But if it means you can't
blame him on me, fine.

455
00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:53,585
Cramer will be here
tomorrow with a writ

456
00:20:53,585 --> 00:20:54,886
to take him away anyway.

457
00:20:54,886 --> 00:20:56,188
No.

458
00:20:56,622 --> 00:20:58,357
Yeah, i offer up 20 to 1
he'll be here before noon.

459
00:20:58,357 --> 00:21:00,525
That was roughly my own
estimate of the probability.

460
00:21:00,525 --> 00:21:02,261
It seemed an unfair manner
to settle this obligation

461
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:04,863
that you have brought upon us,
so i phoned inspector cramer

462
00:21:04,863 --> 00:21:06,598
and arranged for you
to be there

463
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:08,333
throughout this
fatuous performance

464
00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:10,068
the police have in mind.

465
00:21:10,502 --> 00:21:13,105
While there, you may
flush out, perhaps,

466
00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:17,442
someone more contributive
than that volatile demirep!

467
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:20,912
Well, i'll have to
look that up,

468
00:21:20,912 --> 00:21:23,949
but i resent it
on principle.

469
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:34,793
Oh, what a beautiful boy,
what's his name?

470
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:36,094
Ah, bootsy.

471
00:21:36,094 --> 00:21:37,829
Oh no, what a hell
of a name.

472
00:21:37,829 --> 00:21:39,131
Who did that to you, boy?

473
00:21:39,564 --> 00:21:41,300
He should've bit you
when you kidnapped him.

474
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,468
You got it wrong there,
Purley, it's women who bite me.

475
00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:45,203
You know, i've often wondered,
who bites you,

476
00:21:45,203 --> 00:21:46,505
what bites you,
where do they bite you?

477
00:21:46,505 --> 00:21:47,372
Wouldn't...

478
00:21:47,372 --> 00:21:49,107
where is the body?

479
00:21:49,107 --> 00:21:50,409
The bottom
of the stairs.

480
00:21:50,842 --> 00:21:52,144
In his apartment, m

481
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:53,879
then used the leash
to finish him.

482
00:21:53,879 --> 00:21:55,614
Took a lot of nerve
to carry the body

483
00:21:55,614 --> 00:21:56,915
down the stairs
to the lower hall.

484
00:21:57,349 --> 00:21:59,518
Of the dog was outside
at the time on the street.

485
00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:01,253
Talento had
chased him out.

486
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:02,554
Uh, so talento's clean?

487
00:22:02,554 --> 00:22:03,855
No, nobody's clean.

488
00:22:03,855 --> 00:22:05,157
If it was talento
who did it,

489
00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:07,326
he'd just put the dog
in the vestibule first,

490
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,928
drag the body down, then
let him out when he left.

491
00:22:10,362 --> 00:22:12,531
Wow, that required a lot
of thinking there, Purley.

492
00:22:12,531 --> 00:22:14,266
Anything wrong
with it?

493
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:16,868
Depends on the dog and
how the dog responds.

494
00:22:16,868 --> 00:22:17,736
There wasn't any blood.

495
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:19,471
Then that's how
i'm buying it.

496
00:22:19,905 --> 00:22:22,507
Come on, i've already
prepped the tenants.

497
00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:27,279
About time!

498
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:28,580
Hello, bootsy.

499
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:30,315
Ohhh!

500
00:22:30,315 --> 00:22:32,484
Goddamn it, i told you
not to speak.

501
00:22:32,484 --> 00:22:33,785
Ah, so you did.

502
00:22:33,785 --> 00:22:35,087
I'm sorry,
i forgot.

503
00:22:35,087 --> 00:22:36,388
Do you want to
try it again?

504
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:38,557
No, that's all,
come on.

505
00:22:38,990 --> 00:22:40,292
Uh, you said
in your statement

506
00:22:40,292 --> 00:22:41,593
that you didn't
know the dog.

507
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:42,894
What?

508
00:22:42,894 --> 00:22:44,196
Yeah, you said that you
thought it was a stray

509
00:22:44,629 --> 00:22:45,497
so you chased it away.

510
00:22:45,931 --> 00:22:46,798
I was in a hurry,
i'm in a hurry now.

511
00:22:46,798 --> 00:22:48,533
The district attorney
wants to see me downtown.

512
00:22:48,533 --> 00:22:49,835
Yes, but...

513
00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:51,136
(Purley)
Goodwin!

514
00:22:51,136 --> 00:22:56,341
Take a look
at the dog.

515
00:22:56,341 --> 00:22:58,510
Now pat it.

516
00:22:58,510 --> 00:23:00,679
Pat it yourself.

517
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:04,149
You ever seen it
before?

518
00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:05,450
No.

519
00:23:10,655 --> 00:23:14,126
A labrador can't be expected
to go for a man's throat.

520
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:15,427
They're not that
kind of dog.

521
00:23:15,861 --> 00:23:20,198
Thanks,
i'll remember that.

522
00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:23,235
(knocking)

523
00:23:23,235 --> 00:23:24,970
Come on, Aland!

524
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:26,705
The dog
don't like me!

525
00:23:26,705 --> 00:23:29,741
The dog's on a leash!

526
00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:32,778
(barking)

527
00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:36,248
Once at a party
at phil kampf's...

528
00:23:36,681 --> 00:23:38,850
i didn't try to hurt it,
but it thought i did.

529
00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:41,887
(barking)

530
00:23:41,887 --> 00:23:44,055
What are you trying
to do, frame me?

531
00:23:44,055 --> 00:23:45,791
We're making the rounds
here, mr. Aland.

532
00:23:46,224 --> 00:23:48,827
We just wanted
to include you, okay?

533
00:23:48,827 --> 00:23:50,128
(barking)

534
00:23:58,804 --> 00:24:00,539
(Purley)
Okay?

535
00:24:00,539 --> 00:24:02,274
Pat him, then.

536
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:04,009
Hello, beautiful.
Huh?

537
00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:06,178
Do you know
your master's gone?

538
00:24:06,178 --> 00:24:09,214
Gone for good?

539
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:12,684
Anything else?

540
00:24:12,684 --> 00:24:13,985
Come on,
i'm working.

541
00:24:13,985 --> 00:24:15,720
I like to use
the morning light.

542
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,456
That's all,
thanks.

543
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:18,757
Come on.

544
00:24:26,565 --> 00:24:29,167
Loftus, give him
the damn dog.

545
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:30,469
I'm willing to give
a detailed analysis

546
00:24:30,902 --> 00:24:32,204
of the dog's conduct.

547
00:24:32,204 --> 00:24:33,505
It will take
about a week.

548
00:24:33,505 --> 00:24:34,372
Go to hell.

549
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:36,541
Take the other
dumb mutt with you.

550
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:45,650
(whistles)

551
00:24:50,856 --> 00:24:51,723
Here we are.

552
00:24:51,723 --> 00:24:53,024
Gee, thanks.

553
00:24:53,024 --> 00:24:54,759
For what?
Down payment on my cab?

554
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:56,061
Ah, you'll earn it,
brother.

555
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:57,362
No, no, ahh!

556
00:24:57,362 --> 00:24:58,663
Come on,
you're not serious?

557
00:24:59,097 --> 00:24:59,965
For five bucks?

558
00:24:59,965 --> 00:25:01,266
I'll come back
and get him

559
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:02,133
and i'll be
very reasonable.

560
00:25:02,133 --> 00:25:03,435
Theey came from.

561
00:25:03,869 --> 00:25:07,339
I'll be right back
there, jet.

562
00:25:07,772 --> 00:25:09,508
What are you
doing, pooch?

563
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:11,676
(Archie)
Getting information was gonna be very tricky.

564
00:25:11,676 --> 00:25:12,978
My plan was to let
the tenants assume...

565
00:25:12,978 --> 00:25:15,146
after seeing me with the dog
and Purley Stebbins...

566
00:25:15,146 --> 00:25:17,315
that i worked with
the homicide division.

567
00:25:17,315 --> 00:25:19,484
But that meant i couldn't
bring up jewel Jones

568
00:25:22,087 --> 00:25:23,388
i've told you
a dozen

569
00:25:23,822 --> 00:25:24,689
all right,
all right,

570
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:26,858
who was the previous
tenant before him?

571
00:25:27,292 --> 00:25:29,027
I've told you,
a girl had it.

572
00:25:29,027 --> 00:25:30,762
I've told you,
she was a fine artist.

573
00:25:30,762 --> 00:25:32,931
I told you she was the girl
that gave me the job

574
00:25:32,931 --> 00:25:35,100
at the night club
where i work.

575
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:38,136
Died like a dog,
that's what he did.

576
00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:39,437
Poor phil.

577
00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:42,040
Died... like a dog.

578
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,643
Did she know
philip kampf?

579
00:25:44,643 --> 00:25:47,679
Who, jewel?
I guess so.

580
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:51,149
Sure she did.

581
00:25:51,149 --> 00:25:55,921
Poor phil...
he died like a dog.

582
00:25:55,921 --> 00:25:58,957
Like a dog, i tell you.

583
00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:07,632
Ah, mr. Meegan, yes.

584
00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:09,801
Sorry, i just need to go over,
i need to recheck...

585
00:26:09,801 --> 00:26:12,404
haven't i seen
you before?

586
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:15,440
Yeah, when i was in
Nero Wolfe's office, yeah?

587
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,476
Uh, ye
there on business, uh...

588
00:26:18,476 --> 00:26:19,778
right now i'm here
on business.

589
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:22,814
Say, how did you come
to take this apartment?

590
00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:25,850
Ah, mr. Meegan,
you know,

591
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:29,754
you might have omitted
something important.

592
00:26:33,658 --> 00:26:36,261
I'm a commercial photographer
from pittsburgh.

593
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:38,863
Two years ago i married
a girl, margaret ryan.

594
00:26:38,863 --> 00:26:40,599
Seven months later
she left me.

595
00:26:41,032 --> 00:26:42,767
She left pittsburgh, too.

596
00:26:42,767 --> 00:26:44,069
Anyway, i couldn't
find her

597
00:26:44,069 --> 00:26:46,237
and her family
didn't hear from her.

598
00:26:46,237 --> 00:26:47,539
Ah, did you go to
the police?

599
00:26:47,539 --> 00:26:49,274
No, i didn't want to.

600
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:52,744
You want a better reason,
but that's mine.

601
00:26:52,744 --> 00:26:57,515
Ah, skip it, go on.

602
00:26:57,515 --> 00:27:03,154
Three weeks ago i go to
a show at the art institute.

603
00:27:03,154 --> 00:27:05,757
There was an oil,
a big one.

604
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:07,926
"Three mares in a pasture".

605
00:27:07,926 --> 00:27:10,095
There were
three women in it.

606
00:27:10,095 --> 00:27:13,131
And one of them
was my wife.

607
00:27:13,131 --> 00:27:15,734
I recognized her
right away.

608
00:27:15,734 --> 00:27:17,902
What did you do?

609
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:21,373
The artist's signature
said Ross Chaffee.

610
00:27:21,373 --> 00:27:23,975
The catalog said
he lives in new york.

611
00:27:23,975 --> 00:27:26,578
And so, i came here.

612
00:27:27,012 --> 00:27:28,747
He fed me this line

613
00:27:28,747 --> 00:27:31,349
that he used so many different
models in his pictures

614
00:27:31,349 --> 00:27:33,518
that he couldn't remember
which was which.

615
00:27:33,518 --> 00:27:35,687
It was so phony...

616
00:27:35,687 --> 00:27:37,856
i got a little
tactless with him.

617
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:39,591
I'm a photographer.

618
00:27:40,025 --> 00:27:42,048
I might forget a model who
sits with me for a day,

619
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:47,832
she sat with him
for at least a month.

620
00:27:47,832 --> 00:27:51,302
And so...
he was a phony.

621
00:27:51,302 --> 00:27:53,905
Coming in the apartment,
i seen a sign that said

622
00:27:53,905 --> 00:27:56,508
there was an apartment
for let, so i rented it.

623
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:58,677
I wanted to be as close
to Chaffee as i could

624
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:01,279
and all the people
that came to see him.

625
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:05,617
There were models, of
course, talento, Aland.

626
00:28:05,617 --> 00:28:07,352
(chuckles)

627
00:28:07,786 --> 00:28:09,954
And some guy that Chaffee
says buys his stuff,

628
00:28:09,954 --> 00:28:12,123
a mr. Braunstein.

629
00:28:12,123 --> 00:28:13,425
Uh-huh, mm-hmm.

630
00:28:13,858 --> 00:28:20,365
Well, what did you learn
from philip kampf?

631
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:22,534
Nothin'.

632
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:25,136
I've already told you that i've
never seen or heard of him.

633
00:28:25,136 --> 00:28:26,871
I've told you that t

634
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:28,606
hmm, all right.

635
00:28:28,606 --> 00:28:32,510
Uh, what would you say
if i said to you...

636
00:28:32,510 --> 00:28:37,282
that you have been
seen with him?

637
00:28:37,282 --> 00:28:39,451
Yo
i'd say?

638
00:28:39,451 --> 00:28:42,921
You're a dirty liar.

639
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:49,427
My dear sir, do you mean
to say you think i'm lying?

640
00:28:49,427 --> 00:28:51,162
There are those who
find it hard to believe,

641
00:28:51,596 --> 00:28:52,897
mr. Chaffee, that you
couldn't remember

642
00:28:53,331 --> 00:28:56,367
who modelled for such
an important painting.

643
00:28:56,367 --> 00:28:58,970
To what end?

644
00:28:58,970 --> 00:29:05,043
What deep design
am i cherishing?

645
00:29:05,043 --> 00:29:08,513
Look, mr. Chaffee, i don't
expect a man like you

646
00:29:08,513 --> 00:29:11,116
to pass out dirt just
for the hell of it.

647
00:29:11,116 --> 00:29:12,851
But any dirt connected
with this murder

648
00:29:13,284 --> 00:29:15,019
is coming out.

649
00:29:15,019 --> 00:29:17,188
And if you're keeping any
for yourself, well then,

650
00:29:17,188 --> 00:29:21,960
you're a bigger fool
than you... look.

651
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,695
Quite a speech.

652
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:26,297
Thanks.

653
00:29:26,297 --> 00:29:29,334
Now you make one.

654
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:33,238
You have my opinion of kampf,
whom i knew quite well.

655
00:29:33,671 --> 00:29:36,708
He was, in some respects,
admirable,

656
00:29:36,708 --> 00:29:38,877
but he had his full
share of faults.

657
00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:41,479
Yes, i gather, uh,
despite his inheritance,

658
00:29:41,913 --> 00:29:43,648
he was not
free with a buck?

659
00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:45,817
Yes, that.

660
00:29:45,817 --> 00:29:48,419
And he had a peculiar...

661
00:29:48,419 --> 00:29:51,456
well, a cruel sense
of humor.

662
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:59,264
But that's hardly
a reason to be killed.

663
00:29:59,264 --> 00:30:02,734
A tragedy, really.

664
00:30:08,373 --> 00:30:10,542
Uh, guys, sorry,
how many days?

665
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:12,277
I see.

666
00:30:12,277 --> 00:30:16,614
Address?

667
00:30:16,614 --> 00:30:20,084
Well, thank you very much,
you've been most helpful.

668
00:30:22,687 --> 00:30:24,422
(clears throat)

669
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,796
Satisfactory,
little man.

670
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:35,700
Heh, shake my hand.

671
00:30:36,134 --> 00:30:38,303
(sighs)

672
00:30:38,303 --> 00:30:40,038
(muttering)

673
00:30:40,038 --> 00:30:42,207
Did you say something?

674
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,110
Uh, no, i did not, no.

675
00:30:46,110 --> 00:30:47,846
Ah, well then, proceed.

676
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:50,014
Sorry, i thought your
interests were elsewhere.

677
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:52,183
I went down to
29 arbor street...

678
00:30:52,183 --> 00:30:53,484
(Archie)
I reported.

679
00:30:53,918 --> 00:30:55,653
When i came to the end,
he asked no questions.

680
00:30:56,087 --> 00:30:58,690
Instead, he opened his eyes
and started giving orders.

681
00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:00,425
Instead, he opened his eyes
and started giving orders. Call the...

682
00:31:00,425 --> 00:31:02,160
I called the art institute
of pittsburgh.

683
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,762
The show that was seen by
meegan ended a week yesterday.

684
00:31:04,762 --> 00:31:07,799
The picture was lent by a
herman braunstein of new york,

685
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:10,401
the same herman braunstein
that mr. Meegan saw

686
00:31:10,835 --> 00:31:12,136
at 29 arbor street.

687
00:31:12,136 --> 00:31:15,607
The picture was sent back
by express four days ago.

688
00:31:15,607 --> 00:31:17,342
Well, so, get him.

689
00:31:17,342 --> 00:31:19,510
No, i don't think so,
he may be a poop.

690
00:31:19,510 --> 00:31:22,113
Why don't i go to the
residence without phoning?

691
00:31:22,113 --> 00:31:23,414
The picture's probably
there now.

692
00:31:23,414 --> 00:31:25,583
If i can't get in,
you could always fire me.

693
00:31:25,583 --> 00:31:27,752
I'm thinking of
resigning anyway, so.

694
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:30,355
Oh, were you?

695
00:31:30,355 --> 00:31:32,523
Since it was my idea,
he had his doubts,

696
00:31:32,523 --> 00:31:34,692
but he bought it.

697
00:31:34,692 --> 00:31:36,861
I explained to mrs. Braunstein
that a client of mine wanted

698
00:31:36,861 --> 00:31:38,596
to photograph
"three mares and a pasture"

699
00:31:38,596 --> 00:31:40,331
for his collection.

700
00:31:40,765 --> 00:31:43,368
Whnvented all the
identification she required,

701
00:31:43,368 --> 00:31:45,970
she led me through the arch
into a room...

702
00:31:45,970 --> 00:31:47,272
she led me through the arch
into a room... yes!

703
00:31:47,705 --> 00:31:50,308
...not quite as big as
madison square garden.

704
00:31:58,549 --> 00:32:02,020
(phone rings)

705
00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:04,188
Speak.

706
00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:06,357
Oh, that's a hell of a way
to answer the phone.

707
00:32:06,357 --> 00:32:07,659
Yes or no?

708
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:09,394
I've seen the picture...

709
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:11,562
i wouldn't have thought
the stallion had it in him.

710
00:32:11,562 --> 00:32:14,599
How it glows with
color and light.

711
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:17,635
It's as if you can
feel and see the blood

712
00:32:18,069 --> 00:32:20,238
pulsate under the warm skin.

713
00:32:20,238 --> 00:32:21,973
Shut up!
Yes or no?

714
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:24,142
Yes, yes, you've
met mrs. Meegan,

715
00:32:24,142 --> 00:32:25,443
would you like to
meet her again?

716
00:32:25,877 --> 00:32:27,178
I would.

717
00:32:37,588 --> 00:32:39,757
Oh, Archie.

718
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:46,698
You know, i ee you,

719
00:32:46,698 --> 00:32:48,433
but i couldn't resist.

720
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:49,734
Cut it, doll.

721
00:32:49,734 --> 00:32:51,903
I just came from
herr braunstein's apartment

722
00:32:51,903 --> 00:32:53,638
where i saw the most
interesting painting.

723
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:54,939
What?

724
00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:56,674
Yes.

725
00:32:56,674 --> 00:32:59,277
Well...
come in and tell.

726
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:01,879
Well, sorry, but i'm
not so sure i should.

727
00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:05,350
See, i'm afraid of
young mares.

728
00:33:05,783 --> 00:33:07,952
I was kicked by one once.

729
00:33:07,952 --> 00:33:09,687
So i'll wait here
while you get dressed.

730
00:33:09,687 --> 00:33:11,856
Wear something yellow,
Wolfe dislikes red.

731
00:33:11,856 --> 00:33:13,157
But l...

732
00:33:13,157 --> 00:33:16,194
go on or i'll go get
richard meegan!

733
00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:17,929
Don't call me
mrs. Meegan.

734
00:33:17,929 --> 00:33:19,230
Mrs. Meegan, l...

735
00:33:19,230 --> 00:33:22,700
don'tcall me mrs. Meegan!

736
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:25,737
I am only stressing the fact
that your, your identity

737
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:27,905
is not ussion.

738
00:33:27,905 --> 00:33:29,207
Anymore!

739
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,376
You are legally
mrs. Richard meegan.

740
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:33,978
Now, sit down, please!

741
00:33:33,978 --> 00:33:36,581
Wolfe was in as bad
a humor as she was...

742
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:39,617
he had been compelled to
tell Fritz to postpone lunch.

743
00:33:40,051 --> 00:33:41,786
You are a mpetent
liar, madam.

744
00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:43,521
And your offhand denial
last night

745
00:33:43,521 --> 00:33:46,557
of knowing mr. Meegan
was more than competent.

746
00:33:46,557 --> 00:33:48,292
When did mr. Chaffee
tell you

747
00:33:48,292 --> 00:33:50,461
that your husband was
in town looking for you?

748
00:33:50,461 --> 00:33:51,763
I didn't say he had.

749
00:33:53,498 --> 00:33:54,799
When the police learn
that it was you...

750
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:56,968
they don't have to
learn about me, do they?

751
00:33:56,968 --> 00:33:58,269
Phooey!

752
00:33:58,269 --> 00:34:02,173
Well, wait...

753
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:04,342
why didn't i
think of this before?

754
00:34:04,776 --> 00:34:06,077
You're a detective.

755
00:34:06,077 --> 00:34:08,679
You help people in trouble,
and i'm in trouble.

756
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,848
I'll pay you to help me.

757
00:34:10,848 --> 00:34:13,885
Not now, not ever,
miss... Jones.

758
00:34:13,885 --> 00:34:15,620
Now, when did mr. Chaffee
tell you that

759
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:17,355
your husband was
looking for you?

760
00:34:17,355 --> 00:34:19,090
Well, you won't even
listen to me!

761
00:34:19,090 --> 00:34:22,126
Well, if you say something
intelligent, i might!

762
00:34:22,126 --> 00:34:24,295
(sighs)

763
00:34:24,295 --> 00:34:27,765
My husband was jealous about
me before we got married.

764
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:30,802
And after, he got worse.

765
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:34,272
It got bad...
really bad.

766
00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:37,308
Finally, it got
so bad, i left.

767
00:34:37,308 --> 00:34:40,344
I came to new york,
found a job and made friends.

768
00:34:40,344 --> 00:34:43,815
I modelled for Ross, and phil
kampf found me a job singing.

769
00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:46,417
I modelled for Ross, and phil
i thought i was safe. Singing.

770
00:34:46,417 --> 00:34:48,152
And then, all of a sudden,
Ross phones me

771
00:34:48,152 --> 00:34:49,887
and tells me that
my husband is here.

772
00:34:49,887 --> 00:34:51,622
I begged him
not to tell.

773
00:34:51,622 --> 00:34:54,225
An idiotic strategy.

774
00:34:54,225 --> 00:34:56,828
The only reason
my husband wants to find me

775
00:34:56,828 --> 00:34:58,996
is so he can kill me.

776
00:34:58,996 --> 00:35:00,731
Has he ever
killed anyone?

777
00:35:00,731 --> 00:35:04,202
I didn't say "anyone",
i said me.

778
00:35:04,202 --> 00:35:07,672
I don't know what it is,
men just go for me.

779
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:10,274
Did mr. Aland go for you?

780
00:35:10,274 --> 00:35:12,877
Mr. Talento,
did he go for you?

781
00:35:13,311 --> 00:35:14,612
They're friends of mine.

782
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:16,781
They said they wouldn't tell
and they didn't.

783
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:18,950
Now...

784
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:21,986
i can pay you...

785
00:35:21,986 --> 00:35:24,589
$40 to start...
well, that's just to start.

786
00:35:25,022 --> 00:35:26,757
I'm not just in trouble,

787
00:35:26,757 --> 00:35:31,095
i'm in danger of my life,
really i am.

788
00:35:31,095 --> 00:35:33,600
You're not listening!

789
00:35:34,132 --> 00:35:36,734
Get mr. Chaffee.

790
00:35:36,734 --> 00:35:38,469
No, i don't want him
to know.

791
00:35:38,469 --> 00:35:41,506
Nonsense, everyone will
have to know everything.

792
00:35:48,012 --> 00:35:49,747
Ah, yes,
mr. Chaffee?

793
00:35:49,747 --> 00:35:52,783
Yes, mr. Wolfe would
like to speak to you.

794
00:35:52,783 --> 00:35:54,519
Mr. Chaffee, i need
to speak to you

795
00:35:54,952 --> 00:35:56,687
and the other tenants of
29 arbor street

796
00:35:56,687 --> 00:35:59,290
as soon as possible.

797
00:35:59,290 --> 00:36:01,459
Of course
it's important!

798
00:36:01,459 --> 00:36:03,104
Well, if you want to
take less time,

799
00:36:03,104 --> 00:36:04,929
then round them up and
get them all together

800
00:36:04,929 --> 00:36:06,664
and bring them here.

801
00:36:06,664 --> 00:36:09,267
All at once,
yes!

802
00:36:09,267 --> 00:36:12,303
How should i know how
you are going to do that?

803
00:36:12,303 --> 00:36:15,339
Well, i could suggest that
if mr. Eegan is balking,

804
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:17,508
that you tell him
that his wife is here.

805
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:18,809
No! Ross!

806
00:36:18,809 --> 00:36:20,545
Don't tell him,
don't!

807
00:36:20,545 --> 00:36:22,280
(barking)

808
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,147
Don't bring him here,
Ross, don't!

809
00:36:23,581 --> 00:36:24,448
As soon as possible.

810
00:36:24,768 --> 00:36:26,617
Don't tell him!

811
00:36:26,617 --> 00:36:30,087
Take it easy,
take it easy.

812
00:36:30,521 --> 00:36:33,124
Truly an affecting sight.

813
00:36:47,004 --> 00:36:48,739
Greetings.

814
00:36:48,739 --> 00:36:50,041
Before you ask,
i will be happy

815
00:36:50,474 --> 00:36:52,210
to discuss
my split personality

816
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:53,945
as a homicide dick
and a private eye

817
00:36:53,945 --> 00:36:55,680
after you've spoken
with mr. Wolfe.

818
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,981
(clamoring)

819
00:36:56,981 --> 00:36:58,716
You go climb a rope.

820
00:36:59,150 --> 00:37:00,885
What with miss Jones'
theory that her husband

821
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:02,186
might kill her
right on the spot,

822
00:37:02,186 --> 00:37:04,789
and the fact that one of
youdidkill poor phil,

823
00:37:04,789 --> 00:37:06,958
i've taken a precaution.

824
00:37:06,958 --> 00:37:10,861
Now, the gun is loaded,
as you can see.

825
00:37:10,861 --> 00:37:13,898
It's just a precaution,
one never knows.

826
00:37:13,898 --> 00:37:16,500
Please, right this way.

827
00:37:16,934 --> 00:37:19,537
(Archie)
I kept miss Jones in the front room

828
00:37:19,971 --> 00:37:22,139
until i had them
seated in the office.

829
00:37:22,139 --> 00:37:24,742
(Archie)
Anywhere but the red chair, that's it.

830
00:37:34,285 --> 00:37:38,189
(sighs)

831
00:37:38,189 --> 00:37:40,358
Yeah?
Yeah.

832
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:51,202
You little whore.

833
00:37:51,202 --> 00:37:52,503
No, don't touch me!

834
00:37:52,503 --> 00:37:54,238
(barking)

835
00:37:54,238 --> 00:37:56,407
(Aland)
See what you've done, goodwin?

836
00:37:56,407 --> 00:38:01,178
She had the damsel-in-distress
bit down to a science.

837
00:38:01,178 --> 00:38:02,913
On the other hand,
i had begun to believe

838
00:38:03,347 --> 00:38:04,649
that she had a reason.

839
00:38:04,649 --> 00:38:07,251
(Archie)
Right this way...

840
00:38:07,251 --> 00:38:09,420
right here.

841
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,662
Well, ahem,

842
00:38:18,095 --> 00:38:20,264
now that this hubbub
is over, i'll proceed.

843
00:38:20,264 --> 00:38:22,433
I've not been hired
to work on this case.

844
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:24,602
The only client i have
is a dog.

845
00:38:24,602 --> 00:38:27,638
And he came to my office
by inadvertence.

846
00:38:27,638 --> 00:38:29,373
(clears throat)

847
00:38:29,373 --> 00:38:32,410
Inspector cramer, sir.

848
00:38:32,410 --> 00:38:34,578
I suppose this was
to be expected.

849
00:38:34,578 --> 00:38:38,049
Luckily, mr. Cramer, your
usual chair is unoccupied.

850
00:38:38,049 --> 00:38:40,217
You know the gentlemen,
of course, but not the lady.

851
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:43,254
Her current name is
jewel Jones.

852
00:38:43,254 --> 00:38:45,856
Her legal name is
mrs. Richard meegan.

853
00:38:45,856 --> 00:38:48,025
Meegan?

854
00:38:48,025 --> 00:38:50,628
Meegan's wife?
The one in the picture?

855
00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:51,929
How did you get her?

856
00:38:51,929 --> 00:38:53,664
That can wait.
No interruptions.

857
00:38:53,664 --> 00:38:55,399
No demands
for 30 minutes.

858
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:56,701
No, i don't have to...

859
00:38:56,701 --> 00:38:58,436
if you interrupt again,
by heaven,

860
00:38:58,869 --> 00:39:00,171
you can take
all these people

861
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:02,340
down to your headquarters,
or whatever,

862
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:05,810
and you can hash
it out yourself!

863
00:39:05,810 --> 00:39:07,978
Ahh...

864
00:39:07,978 --> 00:39:11,882
but before i come to that,
one point:

865
00:39:11,882 --> 00:39:17,521
I offer no comment to your
guile with mr. Meegan.

866
00:39:17,521 --> 00:39:19,256
I will even concede

867
00:39:19,256 --> 00:39:22,727
that there was a flavor
of gallantry in it.

868
00:39:22,727 --> 00:39:25,329
But what you could not know
was that mr. Meegan

869
00:39:25,329 --> 00:39:27,498
had been to see me
that morning.

870
00:39:27,932 --> 00:39:29,667
(Chaffee)
What? Meegan hired you?

871
00:39:30,101 --> 00:39:32,269
I knew something
wasn't right.

872
00:39:32,269 --> 00:39:33,571
I refused the job,
of course,

873
00:39:34,004 --> 00:39:35,306
and he stormed out
in a temper,

874
00:39:35,306 --> 00:39:37,908
taking mr. Goodwin's raincoat
instead of his own.

875
00:39:38,342 --> 00:39:40,511
Oh, we know all that,
what i want to know is...

876
00:39:40,511 --> 00:39:42,246
hackneyed and dull.

877
00:39:42,246 --> 00:39:44,415
Mr. Meegan,
some two hours ago,

878
00:39:44,736 --> 00:39:46,150
i learned that
you maintain

879
00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:49,186
that you have never met
philip kampf.

880
00:39:49,186 --> 00:39:50,921
I would like to hear it
straight from you.

881
00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:53,090
Did you ever meet
philip kampf?

882
00:39:53,090 --> 00:39:55,259
No.

883
00:39:55,259 --> 00:39:56,994
You don't wish to
qualify that?

884
00:39:56,994 --> 00:39:58,295
No.

885
00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:00,898
Then whose raincoat hangs on
the rack in that hallway?

886
00:40:00,898 --> 00:40:02,199
About?
Then whose raincoat hangs on the rack in that hallway? G

887
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:03,934
the raincoat that you
brought into this house

888
00:40:04,368 --> 00:40:06,537
is in the hall now,
there on the rack.

889
00:40:06,537 --> 00:40:07,838
I've heard of
your tricks, Wolfe.

890
00:40:08,272 --> 00:40:10,875
What, did you plant
something on it?

891
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:12,610
I will now ask
the question

892
00:40:12,610 --> 00:40:14,345
that no one has had
the wit to ask

893
00:40:14,345 --> 00:40:16,514
in this whole
investigation.

894
00:40:16,514 --> 00:40:18,682
Why did the dog follow
mr. Goodwin

895
00:40:18,682 --> 00:40:23,454
through the turmoil
of the city?

896
00:40:23,454 --> 00:40:26,490
That he is irresistible
both to dogs and women.

897
00:40:26,490 --> 00:40:29,093
And doubtless his vanity
impeded his intellect,

898
00:40:29,093 --> 00:40:32,997
or he would have reached
the same conclusion that i did.

899
00:40:32,997 --> 00:40:35,166
The dog did n

900
00:40:35,166 --> 00:40:37,334
the dog followed the coat.

901
00:40:37,768 --> 00:40:39,503
(cramer)
Oh, that smells.

902
00:40:39,503 --> 00:40:41,238
How do you account
for kampf's dog

903
00:40:41,238 --> 00:40:43,407
following meegan's coat?

904
00:40:43,841 --> 00:40:45,576
I couldn't, i can't.

905
00:40:45,576 --> 00:40:48,179
However, it was unquestionably
mr. Kampf's dog,

906
00:40:48,179 --> 00:40:51,649
therefore, it couldn't
have been mr. Meegan's coat.

907
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:53,818
It is better than
a conjecture

908
00:40:53,818 --> 00:40:55,553
that it was
mr. Kampf's coat.

909
00:40:55,986 --> 00:40:57,288
What are you
talking about, Wolfe?

910
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:58,589
Where did you
get it, mr. Meegan?

911
00:40:59,023 --> 00:41:01,192
Come on, come on!
This is a dirty frame.

912
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:03,360
That it is mr. Kampf's
can be readily established

913
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,529
by examining it, sir.

914
00:41:05,529 --> 00:41:07,698
You can't prove that's the coat
that i left here, Wolfe.

915
00:41:07,698 --> 00:41:10,301
I warn you, sir,
you are in deadly peril.

916
00:41:10,734 --> 00:41:12,036
It was she, huh?
Huh?

917
00:41:12,036 --> 00:41:14,205
It was she that put you
against me, huh?!

918
00:41:14,638 --> 00:41:16,807
Have you any explanation
of how mr. Kampf's coat

919
00:41:16,807 --> 00:41:18,542
came into your
possession?

920
00:41:18,542 --> 00:41:19,844
No!!

921
00:41:19,844 --> 00:41:23,747
And i don'u big blob!

922
00:41:23,747 --> 00:41:27,218
Then you are done for, sir.

923
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:28,953
For your own coat
must be somewhere,

924
00:41:28,953 --> 00:41:30,688
and i think i know
where it is.

925
00:41:31,121 --> 00:41:32,857
In the police laboratory.

926
00:41:32,857 --> 00:41:35,025
If you won't explain how
you got mr. Kampf's coat,

927
00:41:35,459 --> 00:41:37,194
then explain how he came
to wearing yours!

928
00:41:37,194 --> 00:41:39,363
(jewel)
I knew it, i knew it!

929
00:41:39,363 --> 00:41:41,532
He wanted to kill me,
so he killed phil!

930
00:41:41,532 --> 00:41:42,833
(screaming)

931
00:41:43,267 --> 00:41:44,568
That's enough.

932
00:41:44,568 --> 00:41:45,870
Now, sit down!

933
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:48,038
Sit down, sit down!

934
00:41:56,714 --> 00:41:59,316
How do you
know that, madam?

935
00:41:59,316 --> 00:42:00,618
Because phil told me...

936
00:42:01,051 --> 00:42:02,786
he wanted me to come
back to him and i wouldn't.

937
00:42:02,786 --> 00:42:04,522
You...

938
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:06,257
(cramer)
That's enough!

939
00:42:06,257 --> 00:42:07,558
Then he comes and tells me

940
00:42:07,558 --> 00:42:08,859
that if i don't come back
and be with him,

941
00:42:08,859 --> 00:42:10,594
he'll tell dick
how to find me.

942
00:42:10,594 --> 00:42:13,631
So, i promised i would,
and he laughed.

943
00:42:14,064 --> 00:42:15,799
He said he had to
go see dick again anyway

944
00:42:15,799 --> 00:42:18,836
because dick had gone off
with his raincoat.

945
00:42:18,836 --> 00:42:21,760
Phil thought it was funny
that dick had his raincoat

946
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,041
and he had dick's wife.

947
00:42:24,041 --> 00:42:25,776
I'll bet that's just
what he told you, huh?

948
00:42:25,776 --> 00:42:27,077
I bet he told you that
i was coming back to him

949
00:42:27,511 --> 00:42:28,812
and he thought
that was a good trade...

950
00:42:29,246 --> 00:42:31,849
a raincoat for a wife!

951
00:42:31,849 --> 00:42:33,584
A raincoat...

952
00:42:33,584 --> 00:42:37,488
a raincoat for a,
for a wife.

953
00:42:37,922 --> 00:42:39,657
(laughing)

954
00:42:39,657 --> 00:42:40,958
Come on, buddy,
let's go, let's go.

955
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:43,561
Come on, get up!

956
00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:45,296
(sobbing)

957
00:42:45,729 --> 00:42:48,332
(Aland)
Sweetheart, don't cry.

958
00:42:48,332 --> 00:42:50,935
(cramer)
Oh, cheese and rice.

959
00:42:50,935 --> 00:42:53,103
All right, i want everybody
down at the station,

960
00:42:53,103 --> 00:42:55,272
everybody including you,
Wolfe!

961
00:42:55,272 --> 00:42:57,007
If there's one thing
on earth

962
00:42:57,007 --> 00:42:59,610
Nero Wolfe will not be
in the room with,

963
00:42:59,610 --> 00:43:01,779
it's a woman in eruption.

964
00:43:01,779 --> 00:43:03,948
Is it over?
Don't leave me.

965
00:43:04,381 --> 00:43:06,550
Please don't leave.

966
00:43:09,153 --> 00:43:10,454
Jet.

967
00:43:20,431 --> 00:43:21,732
Come on.

968
00:43:23,901 --> 00:43:29,974
I just want to get a full
report at te station.
